Stayinf with friends in Seattle for a quick weekend trip. One asks about my "other" pin--the one on my coat next to the trans "Ally" pin--as she doesn't recognize it.

"Uh...do you have a half-hour?" I joke. "Heh...it's 'non-binary.'"

"Oh! Preferred pronouns?" she asks.

I blink a few times.

"Um...he/him is fine...."

An exaggerated pause as my brain reels; I've literally never been asked in-person before.

"...but...'they/them' makes me feel good..." I finally admit, blushing.

I assure you everything is fine!

...I just don't know what I'm supposed to do with all these babies, now. 😓

So, an "infant life vest" is a safety device meant to keep small, young humans afloat, and not--as I had assumed--a water-floatation garment consisting of several live, squirming babies taped together to harness their natural buoyancy.

Interesting...

Well, that's something good, at least. =) This was originally supposed to be a trip to the BSides security conference. The conference was postponed for a couple weeks, but our flight couldn't be rescheduled cheaply, so...now it's just a quick visit. =)

I've got Viral Extinction on CD. I'll see if I can find it and rip it.
